~ This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end ~

~~ Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again ~~

~~Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land ~~
